Rylee is a FUNNY girl!!!

So this morning I decided I need to clean my room. Little miss Rylee thought she needed to help but instead of helping she was making a BIGGER MESS. I was getting so frustrated with her. So I put on a movie for her and when I went to check on her this is how I found her. She is seriously a funny, funny girl! She even put her boots on with her pj's, that cracks me up. What was shocking to me, she was actually sitting and watching the movie I put on for her. Maybe I can get more cleaning done alittle more often!!

Well it is Offical...

We just went into the doctor to make sure everything was were it should be and ok with this new baby.... and there the baby was, just chilling like a little peanut. Due date is January 30th....we are anxious and excited. We will keep you posted....

My Grandparents 65th!

On Saturday my grandparents had their 65th wedding Anniversary. It was so good to see them and to see how happy they both where. I can't believe they are still kicken it! My Grandparents have done so much for me. When I was younger I went on lots of trips with them and spent alot of time having fun with them. I love them both so much but there is something special about my grandpa. My Grandpa is the sweetest man I know, he is always happy and is so Christ like. I want him to know how much he means to me. When I was holding his hands on sat night and talking to him he said some precious things to me and I will forever cherish that moment. I'm not sure how much longer he will be in our presence, so every moment with him was so important to me. After we were done talking I had tears in my eyes and Rylee had asked me what was wrong. I told her that mommy had happy tears. We had a nice evening visiting with everyone. We where able to take some family snap shots, except one of my brothers wasn't able to be there. We love you David and we missed you!

Happy Birthday To Our Dad & Papa!!!

My dad was telling Ryan & I a couple of days ago he really wanted a tree to plant in his front yard. Well since his Birthday was June 12th, we thought that would be a perfect B-Day gift. So as a Family we went & purchased the tree. The tree he wanted is a African Sumac. Ryan & Rylee had tons of fun digging the hole for it. It sure will be a great tree when it's all grown & it will give lots of shade. The things that make my Dad the Happiest are his Grandkids & things that grow. We love him so much and are so Greatful for all he does for his Family. WE LOVE YOU DAD!!!

This morning a few of us went to the zoo. It was so much fun and tiring, but we made it! We arrived @ 8 am and by 11 am the kids were so, so, so tired!!! We left and went to Red Robin for lunch. The kids loved it! It was a morning we all enjoyed. Here are some pictures of our adventure.

SUMMER FUN AT THE PARK!

DESERT BREEZE PARK

So I woke up to a phone call from my sister-in-law Rachael this morning asking me if I wanted to take the kids to a fun park. I said sure, that would be fun. We went to Desert Breeze Park in Chandler, and it was tons of fun. The kids had tons of fun. Here are some pictures of our fun morning.

Memorial Day Fun!!!!!!

Last minute, the Morty family decided to take a trip up to the White Mountains to enjoy the cool weather and to watch a softball tournament. Ryan and I had a great time but our little Rylee had a BLAST!! We asked Ryan's Uncle Jerry if we could stay in their cabin for the weekend and he was very nice and let us. Thanks Uncle Jerry!!! It was nice to be amongst close friends, and to get away from the craziness that life brings. We were able to spend alot of time with Rylee and Crew. We went on a family drive on sunday to find Ryan's Grandma's old cabin. We were successful, and it brought back alot of memories to Ryan. Later that night we went to my friend Rachelle's brothers house, where we played games and even went off-roading in a jeep. Needless to say we all had a Blast. While we were at their house Rylee made some friends and had the time of her life. When it was time to leave, Rylee threw a fit. I told her we would see them tomorrow, and then she was ok. Monday came and we just watched ball games and let Rylee play. We ended up leaving around 4pm, and had no traffic problems. YEA!! It was a trip well needed.

Sassy Rylee!

I am excited to get this blog up and running! So here is my first post, and I am looking forward to keeping this up. Just to bring you up to date, Ryan is currently working at the copper mine in Morenci, and I am a stay at home mom to my 2 babies. Life is a bit hectic right now, only because we are trying to find a new vehicle. I decided I didn't like mine anymore, and gave it a little makeover. But don't worry, we are all ok. But the poor car was totalled, and to make a long story short, we are in search of a new one. What else can I tell you? Oh yes- Crew was blessed at birth with a beautiful head full of dark hair. Well the last few weeks, he has been losing all of the hair on top of his little head. So, I decided that I would shave his head today. Surprise Ryan! Can't wait for you to get home and see it! He is so stinkin cute though!
Saturday, Rylee's little friend Maily had an easter party, and the easter bunny came to visit. As soon as Rylee discovered he was there, she completely freaked out, and wouldn't go hunt for eggs! I had to hold her hand. She had her eyes glued to him the whole time, and even when she would bend down to pick up an egg, she wouldn't look away from him, just to make sure he wasn't coming to get her! Overall, it was a great party.
We had a Happy Easter, even though Ryan wasn't able to be here. I am very grateful for him and all that he does for our family. He is a good husband and a good daddy, and we love him!
